What happens here
The host elaborates on how the ABI Classic Spreader functions. The PTO shaft, once engaged, drives the 'flappers' or 'smackers' located at the rear of the spreader, which are responsible for scattering the manure across the field. The hydraulic line, which he connected in the previous step, controls the rakers inside the spreader that move the manure towards these flappers. He estimates that it will take him about 1.5 hours to load the spreader with manure and approximately 15 minutes to spread it. He plans to focus on areas of the field with poor soil nutrition. A crucial tip he provides is to avoid spreading manure on a windy day, as it can scatter the material unevenly and create unpleasant conditions.
Goal: Learn the operational mechanics of the manure spreader and important considerations for effective spreading.
